Getting subtly bullied

Today a friend of mine was showing me a nude photo(he knows i am on nofap)
But i just neglected the photo and continue the conversation.
So what he was trying is-if he does not have that will ,he want same for me but i just neglected him and then he stopped doing that stuff

 

No sense in retaliation. Move forward on your journey; stay on your purpose. Get another good streak going and you’ll feel unstoppable.

 

You said it. These are not genuine mates. They do not care for you. They are playing you for their own amusement. You are a joke to them. It must hurt like hell, but do not retaliate though. You are better than that. Just walk away from them and do not look back. You would even be better without a friend than to have people like this around you. Be bold buddy.

 

I've heard before that you become the 5 people you most closely surround yourself with. If you are changing and growing into someone and they are not aligning with your value, the hard thing to do is the right thing, you have to start surrounding yourself with different people that are going to help you improve, not drag you down.

 

dnt retaliate over most words thrown at you. makes you seem petty. i say most because there are certain words when thrown warrant a great asswhoopin. but in this case ur so called mates r just being dicks. id say just take it on the chin if you really care about them, but it seems like the relationship u have with them isnt so strong if you feel like their really tryna hurt u. i say make it known before u cut em off. be straight up. like hey ive been really depressed with my life and im trying to improve it by doing this, so if you idiots can stop taking the piss id appreciate it. something sincere alomg those lines. but idk ur friends, they may just be straight scumbags at heart and if thats the case then cut them out real quick.

 

imagine if someone did the same to an alcoholic who's trying to cut back on addiction.
these arent your true friends. ur better off without them. and if they laugh at u for cutting ties with them, then its a big proof that they were never your friends to begin with.

 

yep. you dont want such people in ur life.
earlier i would feel guilty at telling no and cutting people out of my life. but its not my social responsibility to look after the entire world.
neither is it yours.

this is okay. i would feel very lonely at my office as my colleagues and i wouldnt get along. i would force myself to hang out with them during tea breaks and lunches. now i realize it wasnt called for.

better be alone and content, than suffer with them.

i once went to some wedding with them and the entire journey i was feeling suffocated. was very much out of place.

 

Pray for their well-being and improvement in their lives. Do not blame them for your own mistakes. While you can still be friends with the, be not afraid to seek out new companions.

 

Yes... particularly i am not a fan of:
we, ourselves, are responsible for our own lives
only we can fix our lives

while sure we have to fix our lives, but others can wreck our lives as well.

one trick that helps me is:
if my child had such friends, would i be okay with it-- this helps me decide if i need to continue the friendship or no.

 

Sounds like they aren't respectful people. They saw a man is only as good as the company he keeps.
